The artwork titled “Bharagarh Fort,” created by Nicholas Roerich in 1929, is a tempera on canvas piece, belonging to the Symbolism art movement. Measuring 32 by 41.5 cm, this landscape painting is part of the “Kulu” series and is housed in the Nicholas Roerich Museum in New York City, NY, USA.
The artwork depicts a majestic mountainous landscape. The composition features rugged, snow-capped peaks painted in various shades of blue and white, creating a striking contrast against the earthy tones of the rocky terrain in the foreground. The mountains exhibit a serene and tranquil atmosphere, with their forms rendered in a stylized and symbolic manner, typical of Roerich’s iconic style. Mist lightly veils the landscape, enhancing the mystical and ethereal quality of the scene. The depiction of the natural environment is both grandiose and detailed, conveying a sense of timelessness and reverence for the majestic beauty of the Himalayas.
